A Badge for the fhirteenth Corps.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The National
Encampment will convene at ST. Louis, No..
Sept. ., and will in all probability continue in
session for some days thereafter. This grand
legislative body Of comrades will, in connection
with much other important business, consider
the propriety Of adopting a badge for the
Thirteenth Corps As yet there has been but
little expression upon the part Of our comrades
as TO their preferences or desires concerning
the design. As badge for the Thirteenth
consider the fve-pointed star, surrounded by
five other smaR hve-pointed stars, one between
each Of the two points Of the larger star, the
neatest, pTettiest and best. 1t can be made of
the same solid material throughout, with or
without an inscription, except the number of
the corps as desired. Badges that have pen
dants or parts suspended by ribbon or band
while they are nice, are Objectionable, as many
Of those comrades who wear the regular Grand
Army badge will attest The pendant portion
Is almost constantly Tapping, and in course of
time the ribbon or band wears through and the
portion suspended is apt to drop of and be lost.
The grand old Thirteenth Corps, with which
we were so long identified, should have some
nice and appropriate emblem by which it can
be designated or distinguished from the "a
others.-L. ii. MARSHALL, Adjutant, Post s,

A Clear Statement OF the Regiments that Followed
the Wisconsin, Eagle.

In a recent issue is a short article from the
pen of E. A. Carter, Providence, r. l., on the
composition of the Eagle" Brigade, which
was so named from the fact that one of its
regiments carried live eagle with its colors.
Comrade Carter's memory is so defective and
his article so full of errors that, as a member
of the "live eagle" regiment, and one who
served with it clear through from 1861 to 1865,
i rise TO explain aud correct
The brigade was formed in the Spring OF
1862, and was at the time q part of Pope's
Army of the Mississippi. II consisted of the
26th and 47th H., iIth No. and Sth Wis, and
the I'd Iowa battery. Later-in May, / think
the 9th Minn was added, and some time during
the Summer Of 1862, the 26th III. left the bri-
gade. In the Fall Of 1862 the 101st III. was
for short time attached to the brigade,
and In the Fall or Winter Of 1864 the 9th
Minn. was added, and remained until the close
of the war. The above were the only changes
which now recall except that the artillery
was brigaded together in 1853 or 1854, and then
the I'd Iowa battery was taken out of the bril-
gade, but always served with us in action.
The old brigade, which was continually to-
gether, from the Spring Of 1862 until broken
up by muster-Out in the Summer and Fail
Of 1866, consisted of the 47th ILL.,, 9th Mimi,
llth Mo. and sth Wis, and no other regiments
ever belonged to the brigade except those
heretofore noted. The 5th Wis. was never
brigaded with any Of the regiments mentioned
by Comrade Carter, except the 26th Ill, and
with that only part Of 1862. Gen. John N.
Corse commanded the brissde TO which it be-
longed; the Goth Ill. and 6th Wis. were not
continually together from Corinth. Miss, to
the grand review at Washington, in 1867; the
Sth Wis. did not participate in the grand review
at Washington, being at the time down in
Central Alabama with the rest Of Smiths
guerrillas." With the above trihing excep-
tions the statements in Comrade Carter's
article are correct so far as / know-B. p.

The PoeiIeal 0ld Gentleman.


One evening not long ago there was arrested
IN this city an old gentleman Of position and Of

him, but as he seemed TO be able 10 get about

ful and devoted retainer.
The policeman had given bis testimony
which was unquailodiy to the fact Of the old

was called 10 the stand. There was mingled

one man killed and three wounded. The lst
U. S. Sharpshooters lost one man wounded and
five missing.
1t must have been evident 70 Gen McCel-
Ian at the close of the battle that the enemy
had determined TO turn the right flank OF the
Union line and drive il 10 the other side OF the
Chiczahominy. In view Of this fact it is
strange that the army
WAS NOT CONCENTRATED
in the vicinity Of Gainos's Mil in anticipation
of what was TO follow the defeat at Mechanics
vile. IL was not done, however; the larger
part Of the army remained i'm the old position,
stretched out for miles on the other side of the
Chickahominy, south of Fair Oaks, the in
fantry waiting patiently, like Micawhert for
something to turn up while Averells Cav
airy was searching the swamps for read TO
Harrison's Landing.
During this time their unfortunate comrades
on the right of the line were battling persist
entity but hopolessly against the best troops Of
Lees army, with Jackson and his veterans
within supporting distance. Tired defeated,
but not discouraged, they fell back TO Gaines's
Mil, where one Of the hercest and most Stub
born battles Of the war took place, and where,
for want Of timely assistance the Union army
was again defeated.
Respected and admired as Gen. Mcclellan
was the dofest at Mechanicsville had a de-
pressing effect on the army the soldiers were
ready 10 excuse and defend him, but their
CONFIDENCE IN HyN WAS SHAKEN.
Wellington was assaulted on the streets Of Lon
don after his victory at Waterloo, and Scpio,
who broke the power Of Carthage, was assailed
on the anniversary OF the battle Of Zama, but
The soldiers Of Mcclellan trusted and defended
him after a series OF successive and seemingly
unnecessary defeats. Surely it cannot be
truthfully charged that they were ungrateful,
OF that they lacked in devotion to their COM
mander OF their country.
